If you are a having a slow weekend, and you happen to love cool new visualizations, then I got some great news for you. Yes you heard me right, you can now visualize all your Twitter friends in a cool new fashion all thanks to TweetWheel. Basically TweetWheel visualizes you and all the connections to your friends and their friends and you and soon.

All you have to do is enter your Twitter username (no password needed) and TweetWheel will go to work digging up all of your contacts, and then probing their contact lists. Please note that this can take some time, so you will have to be prepared to wait, probably with a cup of coffee in hand.

Once you are done with the long wait, you get to see a cool picture with all kinds of links between people here and there. You can’t make out much when you look at it directly, instead hover over a particular user to see all his connections.

Well the screenshot above is the visualization that was generated for me, and for the sake of comparison here’s is Scoble’s. I’m sure you can make out the obvious differences. Maybe you could help me a bit by following me on Twitter.
